‘I believed things he told me that I now understand to be … lies,’ Dave Hancock says in new Rittenhouse documentary
A former spokesperson for Kyle Rittenhouse says he became disillusioned with his ex-client after learning that he had sent text messages pledging to “fucking murder” shoplifters outside a Chicago pharmacy before later shooting two people to death during racial justice protests in Wisconsin in 2020.
Dave Hancock made that remark about Rittenhouse – for whom he also worked as a security guard – on a Law & Crime documentary that premiered on Friday. The show explored the unsuccessful criminal prosecution of Rittenhouse, who killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
As Hancock told it on The Trials of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 90-minute film’s main subject had “a history of things he was doing prior to [the double slaying], specifically patrolling the street for months with guns and borrowing people’s security uniforms, doing whatever he could to try to get into some kind of a fight”.
Remember the video of him getting into a fight with some teenage girl just a few days before he killed those people? The video they wouldn’t let the jury see because it might show that Rittenhouse was an escalation-seeking rage-aholic? The video that his spokesperson has definitely seen?
Yeah, he was never disillusioned. He knew who this bastard was all along. He just stopped making money off the kid, is all.
Why is this waste of space still in the news? And a documentary? Seriously? Can we please ignore him going forward and let him be forgotten, unimportant and inconsequential in a hole, like this litte rat deserves?
Congratulations, US legal system! You have encouraged a murderous vigilante!
“Good guys with guns” as a slogan was always going to turn out this way.
That’s one of the many reasons Americans are such stupid people, they see the world in a “good guy / bad guy” dichotomy, where they are the good guys. And “good guys” and their actions are all based on beliefs and opinions. It’s justification for YOUR atrocities while acting disgusted at others.
You might be shocked to learn that not all Americans are the same. Bigot.
You’re really not doing a good job at countering their claim…
By pointing out that hating on everybody from a single country is bigotry?
Obviously your opinion is more common, but I disagree.
What is my opinion? Please state it. Because I didn’t give it.
I missed that you were replying to a comment I made to OP, but you are not OP. So I have no idea.
Edit: Oh wait, nevermind. You did share your opinion and it is in line with OP’s.
There’s no nuance to be had here most of the time and it’s depressing.
There is nuance to be had because not everybody is the same.
I understand that there are tons of problems in the US, but hating on an entire culture/people is bigotry no matter who it is aimed towards.
Sigh. That is not my opinion about any country, that’s my opinion about our species.
“There is no nuance to be had here” means that people don’t notice the nuance because they have their own personal agendas. That’s not an American problem, that’s a global problem.
And good job proving that by deciding you know what my opinion on a subject I never opined on is and deciding that something unrelated was my opinion because of your agenda.
So thanks.
